Saturday 2/17/2019 Weight: 131.2 lbs

I had the Vday cheat meal on Thursday and OMG it brought me back to life!! I had a burger and fries. Prior to the cheat meal I was starting to get pretty weak and my pooping was all over the place. After the cheat I was like Jesus on Easter morning. I was able to kill my lifts and cardio. I have also been able to poop more regular as well which has been nice. Lastly my physique is also looking tighter.

Saturday 2/13/2019 Weight: 132.1 lbs

We officially hit a new low! Ok so I took smooth tea on Monday night and all yesterday I had EXPLOSIVES 🧨. It cleaned me out... I tried to do legs yesterday but I felt so weak, probably from the dehydration of the diarrhea. I finished up my cardio in the AM and then went back in the evening and did upper body. I still felt pretty laggy so I did my best... not the usual 100% steph 😢 lol

I had an amazing week! I brought my intensity up a notch and started to incorporate more plyos and a HIIT warm up, which helps me get my muscles warm and my heart rate up.

My weight is probably lower than it wrote down. I had to wake up early to make it to my massage/cryotherapy session and had a bit less sleep and didn’t go to the bathroom just yet. The refeed did really well with my body I look sooooo goood! My muscles look really filled out and I’m overall happy with how I look, have been getting a lot of compliments and stares at the gym lol

3rd week on carb cycle: The expo killed me and I am glad I took my rest day on Monday. Yesterday I was able to demolish legs and cardio. I wasn’t expecting the weight to drop this low at all. But it is nice to see that once the period was all gone that the weight in fact dropped where it needed to be. So excited! I can’t believe I have dropped almost 10lbs in 1 month.

Weight went up yesterday to 136.8 and it came back down today. Yesterday felt pretty great with working out in the morning. I am not sure why the weight seems to have stationed itself.

I was looking through some pictures of before I started the process and I am noticing that I was a bit tighter back then, specially in the core. I think I’m probably looking better once I have that gym pump but not in the morning pictures.

Today I woke up super soft ahh!! I had the biggest pumps all yesterday and was hoping to get them today for my check ins buttttt my body decided to do other wise lol.

After we texted on Thursday, my energy literally plummeted where I had to lay down. It was probably a combination of working hard all week and being sick. Nevertheless I pushed through, went to the gym, got my workout and cardio done even though I kinda dragged through it.

Yesterday was high carb day and I felt amazing! My body was high in energy and felt the best it had all week. I killed my leg session and cardio and the PUMPs were real!! I looked like a beast walking around the gym. I’m sure once I start working out again, I will get the pump back... hopefully.

I have a new ring light that I will be using for my check ins that way they are always consistent despite the lighting outside.

I may be PMS’ing or ovulating, don’t know how to distinguish each one in my body. all I know is that I was very hormonal the other day, felt pretty tired, a bit constipated, some acne, and my weight fluctuates this week.

I got as low as 139.1 and then it slowly crept back up. I might just need to go down in calories as well lol

I did 40 mins of cardio everyday: a mixture of the stairs and incline walking.

Wasn’t feeling too hot yesterday but made sure to push through with what I could. Everything felt pretty heavy which was annoying but what really matters is giving it that days 100%.

Done with the holidays and it’s time to start grinding. Today I started my mini cut. Just trying to get a few pounds off. I am a bit higher than I want to be soooooo I am going to cut to a good 135ish pounds.

I am going to cut my calories down a bit and bring up my cardio to a consistent level. Let’s see what happens in 2 weeks

I woke up much tighter today and I am so happy about it. I took PJs advice and stopped thinking about the symptoms and told myself I was fine. It worked! Crazy how the mind works!

As of right now, My ankle is feeling better, icing it everyday. The bottom of the inside of my leg (right on top of my ankle) feels bruised, which might be from the massage therapist really digging in that area. I want to give my ankle time for full recovery. I am bringing down my calories for a couple of days since I won’t be able to do cardio or leg exercises

Feeling a bit softer than usual today even though my weight slightly dropped. I think it has to do from having too large of a cheat me lol. Saturday I had a huge burger, fries, and froyo. I could have literally stopped after the burger but I wanted to “go for it”, my weight only went up a pound after the cheat meal and then it slowly went back down.

My left ankle started to act up and got swollen yesterday during legs and then my whole leg started to tighten up.

Since last Saturday my weight has been going up (pre-period indices). I twisted my ankle at the dog park on Saturday so I stayed off of cardio and legs for most of the week. When I usually do 3 days of legs, I have only done 1, and I started cardio back up on Tuesday. I took my rest day on Wednesday.

FOOD: I have been back on macros since Tuesday. I did 2 cheat meals and 1 day where I just loosely tracked(sat-Monday). Since Monday I have definitely been consuming way more salt. I have also noticed that I have been eating more rotisserie chicken than usual.

OTHER: I started spotting today (period) which explains the incremental weight gain and the stomach pooch even after going back on track. To be honest I am not doing anything too far off from last week or any of the other weeks that would cause the 3lb increase. I am certain is the time of the month, which I hope comes down becuAuse this will be my second time in a row (woot woot!). As I stated in the email, I hadn’t had my period since last March until last month. Anywho, now that my ankle is feeling 100% I am back to doing cardio and legs. Lastly, I went to the chiro yesterday to get adjusted and get active release done on my glutes and trap area.

Feeling really good about my change since September. I have put on so much muscle in my upper body. I think one thing that really helped was getting grasten and adjusted once a week for 5 weeks straight. I may have to consider doing that for my glutes and hamstrings so that they keep growing
